FUKI KOBAYASHI




Hi, I’m Fuki Kobayashi (she/her), a Japan-based graphic designer specializing in packaging, typography, and branding.

I studied Graphic Design at George Brown College in Toronto, Canada, where I built a strong foundation in creating clear and thoughtful design.

I enjoy bringing brands to life through packaging and visual identity, focusing on designs that are both functional and full of personality.

Outside of design, I collect clip-on earrings and love adding rhinestones to everyday life — small details that inspire my creativity:)
